David Snow and Leon Anderson show us the wretched face of
homelessness in late twentieth-century America in countless cities
across the nation. Through hundreds of hours of interviews,
participant observation, and random tracking of homeless people
through social service agencies in Austin, Texas. Snow and Anderson
reveal who the homeless are, how they live, and why they have ended
up on the streets. Debunking current stereotypes of the homeless.
"Down on Their Luck" sketches a portrait of men and women who are
highly adaptive, resourceful, and pragmatic. Their survival is a
tale of human resilience and determination, not one of frailty and
disability.
